Hello, my name is Jason and I am seriously in becoming a firefighter. I just recently came out of playing professional baseball, and I now what to pursue a carrer in firefighting. I am fully aware that it is a long tough road but I am am prepared to take that drive. I have several resources in that I currently have 4 people close to me that work for the LAFD, but I was recently told that this website is a great tool to use to get going in the right direction. I have a 4 year degree with a B.S. in Kinesiology, I am an EMT, and currently working for a private ambulance company who is a 911 provider(Hall Ambulance Service, Bakersfield California)I am 24 years old and I have spent the last 16 years playing baseball very seriously. One positive thing about that was I did get a degree out of it. In my heart I knew I wanted to be a firefighter, so here I am ready to do whatever it takes to wear that badge. Sorry for the long drawn out story, I just wanted to paint a picture. So I am looking for some guidance as to what i can do to best enhance my chances of getting on.
Thank You to anyone who would like to share their information it is greatly appreciated.
